The Hornets have regretted signing guard Lance Stephenson to a free-agent deal over the summer and are trying to trade him. According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports and FOX Sports 1, the Hornets tried to deal Stephenson back to the Indiana Pacers. The Brooklyn Nets are another possibility. Also, I've heard the Denver Nuggets mentioned recently. FoxSports.com

Faried anyone?

Mozgov and Chandler would ideally be who they'd dish out.  Chandler could be interesting but OKC maybe making a big push for him.  Faried is interesting though but I'd like to think we could get more than just him in a Lance trade.  So much speculation...ah the beauty of the NBA trade market.

Afflalo isn't that good.

 

 

No he's not, but he fits the team better then Stephenson does. He's a shooter with a career 39% 3pt percentage and he's gotten better and taking more of them the last couple of seasons. Not an ideal situation but still better then Having Stephenson and Kemba in the same backcourt. 

 

 

We all know Kemba isn't being traded, so the only option is to find a taker for Stephenson.

My gut tells me Lance is gone tom.

If the Hornets want any shot at squeaking into the playoffs they have to act now!

 

 

The problem for me is Stephenson is being a scapgoat and he shouldn't be. 

 

This team overachieved last season and Al put more effort in defensively then he has this season for the most part. Also the rest of the team fit around Jefferson better defensively last season as well. 

 

 

Honestly and I've been saying it since he was picked up, but Jefferson was the mistake signing. He's below average on defense (that's me being nice about it), a black hole on offense, plus he's FG % is low for the type of shots he attempts.

 

Kemba is a below average scorer, decent passer/floor general, decent defensively, good ballhandling.... But he doesn't fit with MKG or Jefferson.

 

 

 

They spent all that money for nothing, now they can't figure out that the real mistake on the team is the two pieces they refuse to move. 

 

 

 

For Jefferson to truly work, you need a stretch 4, d and 3 SF, and a 3pt specialist at the 2, plus a pass first PG who can knock down open 3's reliably. Then you have to rely on Jefferson to pass out of doubles and find the open man and swing the ball for the open shot.....Just like Orlando back in the Howard days.

 

 

The same System that Clifford is running here.....We just don't have the pieces to run it and we won't be getting them.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
